Accelerometer enables new tap gesture controls.Ambient temperature sensor whichenables more contextual Alexa experiences, like the ability to ask Alexa to automatically turn on your smart fan when it gets too warm inside.New features for the new version include: Setting up the new Echo Dot is a breeze, all you need to do is plug it in, open the Alexa app and select “Add a Device” under “More” then select “Amazon Echo” followed by “Echo, Echo Dot, and more.” From there, follow the instructions to finish setting up your device. I’ll give Amazon major points on this, the speaker delivers a surprisingly great audio experience considering the size and price point.

If you own the 4th Gen Echo Dot, and place the 5th Gen next to it, you’ll immediately notice the difference is the quality, and feel that overall, there’s a big improvement in the output with deeper vibes, better balance, and smooth audio.
